Sunday was a night to remember at Value City Arena. For the first time in nearly 13 years, an unbeaten Ohio State team knocked off the No. 1 team in the nation, beating Michigan State 80-64.
It was the kind of win that resonated on social media. Here's a sampling of some of the best tweets posted about the Ohio State win:

Dan Dakich, ESPN commentator and father of graduate transfer Andrew Dakich, has been on the Ohio State bandwagon from the start of the season with a tongue-in-cheek hashtag growing in popularity.
Tried to tell ya. #theroadtothefinalfour
— Dan Dakich (@dandakich) January 8, 2018CBS college basketball insider Jon Rothstein chimed in.
Chris Holtmann and Ohio State are officially the Big Ten's third team. Buckeyes are undefeated in league play and now have a marquee win that will carry major weight.
— Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) January 7, 2018CBS' Gary Parrish also had a reaction.
FINAL: Ohio State 80, No. 1 Michigan State 64. It appears the biggest threats to top-ranked teams this season are Boston College, players formerly coached by Chris Holtmann and players currently coached by Chris Holtmann.
